Interesting opportunity. How to cut it up… depends on what’s in each one, and what you intend to do with it. I take a piece like that and determine the wood content, both for size and shape; if there is a small turning block sized piece, that’s how I cut it; if there are boards, that’s how I cut it; but whatever decision I make, it’s important to remember you can always cut it later but you can’t cut it back together if you later change your mind. With wood like that, an inclusion or 5 is somewhat expected, so try to be less picky. Once cut ( a chainsaw is just fine to whittle them to a more manageable size), seal up the end grain and let them set until you use them. Watch out for nails!
